MOSCOW, 12 March.  (RIA "Nowosti" rIA-"Nowosti"-Korrespondent).  The
suggestions of Russia on the not-strategic European anti-missile

anti-missile defense system (NMD) directly opposite.  This avowed
colonel general Leonid Iwaschow, boss of the head office international
one military co-operation, on Monday on a Briefing, announces the RIA
"Nowosti" rIA-"Nowosti"-Korrespondent.

The Russian suggestions within the area of the not-strategic European
anti-missile defense system will not impair the international
obligations within this area according to it ".  That is a certified
area in cooperating for the defense of the not-strategic ballistic
rockets ".

The USA try however however to destroy the basic document within the
area of strategic stability - the ABM contract of 1972 - noted
Iwaschow.  " the implementation of the US plans for the setting up of
the NMD system will cause competition between the defensive and
offensive systems.  This process will influence the delimitation of
the conventional arms negatively ", stressed Iwaschow.
